Summary

In "Buzz a Buzz; Or, The Bees," Wilhelm Busch employs his signature blend of humor and moral instruction to illuminate the life cycle of bees and their significance in nature. Through witty rhymes and vivid illustrations, Busch crafts a delightful narrative that appeals to both children and adults, enhancing the reader's appreciation for the industriousness and social structure of these fascinating creatures. This literary work reflects the late 19th-century fascination with nature, blending scientific observation with a light-hearted tone, reminiscent of the folk tales and fables popular during that era. Wilhelm Busch (1832-1908), a German poet, painter, and cartoonist, is widely regarded as a pioneer of comic strips and humorous poetry. His artistic background and interest in nature likely influenced his desire to communicate complex ideas in an accessible manner. Busch's innovative storytelling techniques and commitment to highlighting the moral lessons inherent in everyday life resonate throughout his works, and "Buzz a Buzz" stands as a testament to his ability to enchant readers with both art and insight. This charming book is a captivating read for anyone interested in nature, poetry, or the interplay of art and education. It fosters a sense of wonder about the world around us and encourages readers to reflect on the interconnectedness of life. Ideal for both individuals and educators seeking to engage young minds, "Buzz a Buzz" is a delightful addition to any literary collection.

    One of the last places you'd expect to find fun is in an elementary-school janitor's cleaning closet. Creator Jef Mallett has given life to Renaissance man/janitor Edwin Frazier, better known as "Frazz," who took the job at Bryson Elementary School when he was a struggling songwriter. He then surprised everyone by sticking around after selling his first hit song; the school will never be the same.Frazz: Live from Bryson Elementary features the diverse cast of charming characters Frazz readers have come to love. There's eight-year-old budding genius Caulfield. He's a constant thorn in the side of burned-out third-grade teacher Mrs. Olsen, who still remembers having Frazz in her class more than 20 years ago. Caulfield needs Frazz to challenge him as he remarks, "School would be OK if it didn't interfere so much with my education." Hilariously naive Principal Spaetzle wants to be like Frazz, and first-grade teacher (and first-rate babe!) Miss Plainwell is getting to know him better. And the kids at Bryson Elementary can't get enough of him! Live from Bryson Elementary is the first Frazz collection and will leave fans begging for more.

    The reader cannot but smile at some of the phases of life presented in this volume. Yet the smile will, in no case, the author thinks, be at the expense of humanity, good feeling, or virtue. Many of the incidents given, are facts embellished by a few touches of fancy. In all, lessons may be read that some, at least, will do well to lay to heart. (Summary by the author)

    In what I have read so far this book appears to be a humorous character study on two levels. That between the uncle and niece and that of polite society in the 19th century. Anything can happen. I for one want to find out what will happen!! - Summary by Susan Morin (solo reader)
